You are in a poorly-lit room with an unidentifiable odor, the source of which may be nearby.  You taste the warm sweetness of blood, and note that you are covered in it, in copious amounts.  You appear to be unscathed.  The room has a single door, a bed, a closet from whence the only light source emanates, and a desk with a few drawers.

What do you do?



That's right, it's text-based adventure time.  For the convenience of everyone involved, try to adhere to the following command syntax, keeping your commands as concise as possible.

There are no limits to the number of participants, the absurdity of the commands, or anything else.  Have fun.

The words don't echo, but they do leave you feeling strangely old.

As hard as you try, you find yourself unable to wrap your jaws around your own head.

There are no legs on the bed.  It is a box spring and mattress lying directly on the floor.

You look confused.  You're fairly sure that's not your name.

They're commands, there's no need to say "I run away", just "run away" :P

>Open the closet door.

There is no door on the closet, it's recessed into the wall.  Looking into it, I don't seen anything out of the ordinary in plain sight, it's filled with shirts and other garments, and the lightbulb is obviously very old.  It smells worse here.

I found a key, a length of rope, a gun with no ammo, and the book "Bad Monkeys".

Why would I need a key if the door was locked from the inside?  I open the door and am greeted by a hallway.  It is very dark.  You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
